“I don’t sell essential oils. I change lives.” She encouraged me to try the Lifelong Vitality products, not even knowing that I was dealing with health challenges so serious that I was considering checking myself into a mental hospital and giving up custody of my kids. I am a single father of five and was struggling to keep my life together. I had lost my business, was living on food stamps, and could barely get off the couch, let alone care for my family. After 10 days of using Lifelong Vitality, my overall health improved. It didn’t take long to see that the financial benefits were just as life-changing as the products. I started building my business. I went slowly at first, but steadily. Then I went to convention and my world was rocked. I had about 30 people on my team and only one other builder. On the drive home from convention, we were studying the compensation plan and it was like the universe unfolded a plan right in front of me. I saw clearly that my potential success with dōTERRA was based on one thing—the rank of Elite. It is the keystone of our compensation plan. I knew from my previous experience that the key to success is duplication. I also know that people will do what they are taught. Simplicity and duplication, combined with our amazing products, created a system that has put me on the brink of Diamond in less than a year. My action plan is simple: 1. Teach as many classes as you can fit in your schedule, starting with four classes in one week. 2. Get to Elite within your first month. 3. Find your three builders as soon as possible. 4. Help them get to Elite in their first month. 5. Teach your builders to do the same. I don’t get into every detail of the compensation plan with my builders. I make it simple. If this action plan is all that my team knows, then that’s what they will do, and it’s what they will teach. It’s rumored that I have never sold a Family Physician Kit. That’s not true. I have sold two. I’m often asked how I sell so many big kits. I gear my entire class around the Natural Solutions Kit, and I don’t believe $550 is too much to pay to give someone their life and health back. I don’t even think about the price. When I am teaching, I only think about how much our products are going to change lives. Nothing makes me happier than to get daily messages from customers telling me of the miracles that have occurred in their lives because of our incredible products. I can’t put a price on someone else’s health. My job is to build enough value in our products that they become a priority. Even when I was living on food stamps, the Lifelong Vitality Pack became a necessity of life. It wasn’t optional. I don’t sell essential oils. I change lives. I really do believe that mindset is what has created my success. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t thank the universe for the change that has happened in my life. It hasn’t been an easy journey. Right now I’m off on another Diamond Club adventure while my kids are at home cheering me on. They are my rock. They are my why. I look back on the blur of this last year, amazed and grateful that I am healthy, and that I am blessed to be changing lives every day. I have a team of amazing business builders and devoted customers. I am supported by a loving partner. My dōTERRA “family” expands every day. I am truly amazed and blessed with an abundance of love, happiness, and prosperity. I have always been a big dreamer. I have always taught my kids to go for their dreams no matter what. Now, thanks to dōTERRA, I get to show them how it feels to not only turn our dreams into reality, but to truly make a difference in the world around us. I challenged Diane and Jeff to change my life. I had no idea the chain reaction that was set in place that day. I will forever be grateful that they didn’t give up on me. ● www.doterra.com 67
